Amazon’s free conversion service has been one of Kindle’s killer features ever since the Kindle launched in 2007. I have used it countless times over the years, but lately I have found that Amazon is throwing up roadblocks that limit how I use the service.

Building and supporting a community of self-published authors dedicated to both sharing experiences and learning as equals.
Founded in January 2015, this groups was initially designed as a way for me to support indie authors by reading their work and featuring them on my website. Since then it has evolved into a valuable resource and support system for authors who have or would like to self-publish.
With the help of some patient and efficient moderators, Riley Amos Westbrook, BB Wynter, Dwayne Fry, J. Daniel Layfield, CB Archer, Tomas K, & Eldon Farrell, Support Indie Authors fights to help indie authors rise above the stigma that is self publishing, as well serves to provide a supportive environment for those who want to share experiences, ask for help, and simply find some friends with common goals. ...more

In all seriousness, we at Support Indie Authors understand how difficult it is to be seen and to make our books known. As we are a group intended for authors, our goal is to help one another, not sell to one another, but we see a lot of folks who strain at the boundaries of what is discussion and what is a bookwhack. Thus, this showcase was born.
Authors:
Here you will find a place to showcase yourself and your writing, offer promos and ARC books, connect with readers and bloggers, and discover services that you may find helpful in your journey.
Don't forget to join our main group as well: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/154447-support-for-indie-authors
Readers:
We love you guys and we love that you want to read and support indies as much as we do, but we understand how difficult it can be to navigate groups where people might be dropping their books all over the place. Our intention here is to create a streamlined place to find books based on genre, promo, ARC, and a host of other factors.
*Definition of Bookwhack: adding a link to books, blogs, websites, or anything else that can be seen as self promotional, whether outright (as in a drive by 'buy my book's comment) or subtle (within the course of discussion, someone mentions their own work or tries to pass off their own work as 'advice.')...more
